monumental moments & nothing at all too

 this week, we had a handful of biggy moments
& some upcoming biggy moments
mixed in with the little ones too.
8th grade dessert, senior honors night & senior banquet.
and senior prom & mothers day coming up this weekend.

senior banquet is tonight at our church.

savannah was asked to be one of the speakers

which ensures that i will be that mom.

the crying one

trying to get a grip on the fact that time just continues to be whizzing by.

i'll be the one with her own box of tissues.

yes, that will be me.

here we go.

we celebrated emily's 8th grade service earlier this week.

for both of these services, parents were asked to write a letter to their child.

a wise friend advised that i start those letters months ago,

especially the ones for the seniors

"because you'll be so tender & emotional in may".

well honestly,

i've been tender & emotional about may, 

for months.

we've been so busy this month 

just in the doing

that i haven't been as sappy about graduation.

we'll see if i can get it together tonight!

a few random things from this week~

i LOVE facebook.
oh yes i do.

if for no other reason than moments like these:

i posted this image on fb asking what the heck these bugs were

& more importantly how do we get rid of them

& within moments,

moments i tell ya,

i had been schooled in elder bugs/love bugs, etc.

apparently we have a giant food source, an elder tree, in our backyard

hence the mass infestation, especially on hot sunny days

of these constantly reproducing, bugs! ack!

 i talked dan into splurging on some cool shoes for himself.

he's the king of the following
"i'm ok. i don't really need any-----"( fill in the blanks with whatever the topic is, shoes,pants, etc)

but he did need some shoes

so for our anniversary we scored some wallabees for him 

& birkenstock's for moi.

birthday tulips from my sweetheart

congrats card from mimi
